Benidorm

Benidorm is one of the main tourist destinations on the Costa Blanca, thanks to its excellent fine sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, an exceptional climate all year round and its wide range of accommodation, restaurants and leisure facilities.

The historic centre of Benidorm stands on a promontory, located between the two main beaches, Levante and Poniente. This was the original site of the city, a primitive fishing village presided over by the church of San Jaime. Built in the 18th century, its blue domes rise above a network of narrow streets and picturesque corners. The Balcón del Mediterráneo offers impressive views of the sea.

This historic centre contrasts greatly with the wide avenues, lined with buildings, shops and outdoor cafes that are part of modern Benidorm.

Located north of the port, Levante beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the city ... along two kilometres of fine, golden sand. This iconic beach is located in front of a busy promenade dotted with cafes and restaurants, and is also the scene of a lively nightlife.

Poniente beach stretches for about three kilometres to the south of the town. Like Levante beach, it is also surrounded by a long promenade and offers a full range of services, as well as being accessible and comfortable.

Between these two famous beaches in Benidorm is Mal Pas, a quiet cove of fine sand, close to the historic centre of the city and the port.

Ti Ximo and La Almadrava are located at the southern end of Benidorm, where the coastline becomes more rocky and difficult to access. At some distance from the centre of the town, these secluded natural coves offer the possibility of getting away from the hustle and bustle of the town, and enjoying diving or snorkelling on their magnificent rocky seabeds.

Benidorm has endless leisure options: from strolling along the endless promenade, to visiting places such as the central L'Aigüera park, or spending an unforgettable day at the Terra Mítica theme park. In addition, boat trips leave from the port to the 'Isla de Benidorm'. Legend has it that the island is made from a piece of the nearby Puig Campana rock, which the brave warrior Roland cut off with his sword during a raid by Charlemagne.

Benidorm is a festive town that loves to party. The fiestas in honour of the city's patron saints, the Virgen del Sufragio and San Jaime Apóstol, take place from the second Sunday in November and feature a wide variety of events, including a parade of floats, theatrical re-enactments and fireworks. A few days later, the historic centre becomes the setting for the traditional and popular Fiesta de la Carxofa.

The surroundings of Benidorm are home to a number of exceptional natural attractions. Towards the north the terrain becomes more mountainous, with cliffs and escarpments that descend to the sea, and also includes the natural reserve known as Serra Gelada.
